There seem to be barely any legal requirements for Teslas in the US. The Cybertruck as is wouldn't be legal in the EU (and hence is not sold). How the lack of indicator stalks is legal is beyond me, as is the utter lack of buttons or the lack of speed indication in a driver's line of sight.
The behaviour of using a screen with submenus to setup things while you're driving is madness if you think about it. We're not allowed to use our touch screen phones while driving but are allowed to use a touch screen bolted-on touch screen.
I’m currently renting a new Ford F-150 ICE truck and all of its UI is controlled through the enormous touch screen. There are physical buttons too, but they’re just remote inputs to the central UI. It also has a video display behind the steering wheel, where half the display is dominated by a menu, and gauges are displayed on either side of the menu. You can barely see the speedometer.
I own a Tesla Model 3, and have ranted about how awful its touchscreen only control is bad for ages, but the Ford is significantly worse. Just today, the truck’s UI bugged out in such a way that half the exterior lights were blinking, while a period bell sound would blast every few seconds. A message on the screen complained that the car “needed to be running to…” with the rest cut off by a nondescript grey square.
